You can create a group name "index" and create new client for all clients that 
you would like to have indexes backup and assign index savegrp to these 
clients. Modify cron to run "savegrp -N 8 -O -G index" command from NSR server. 
-O option will backup only indexes of all clients under "index" savegrp.


Thank you,
